Overview

hike4.0adv

An interesting hike with lots of ups and downs across three valleys that end in dramatic sea cliffs reminiscent of Kauai's Napali Coast. Along the way are two black sand beaches, sheer cliffs, lush jungle, ironwood and bamboo groves, blue water views and green valley vistas.

The small parking lot at the end of Highway 270 can get full by late morning on weekends and holidays so it's best to get there early.
